Vivienne Westwood Fall/Winter 2025: A Love Letter to London
Andreas Kronthaler's latest collection for Vivienne Westwood mainline is a vibrant celebration of energy, expansion, and new beginnings. Number 19, signifying a fresh start, permeates the collection's ethos, a call to embrace bold decisions and fight for happiness and freedom.
Kronthaler's lifelong love of tailoring, deeply rooted in English tradition, is evident in the collection's sharp silhouettes and impeccable craftsmanship. He elevates the classic suit to a symbol of self-expression, proving that formality can be undeniably sexy.
This collection is a heartfelt homage to London, Kronthaler's home for over three decades. It marks a reunion of the Westwood mainline and Andreas Kronthaler's Gold and Red Labels, reminiscent of the dynamic 90s collaborations. Harris Tweed in a spectrum of shades and patterns, alongside Scottish tartan and Yorkshire wool, form the collection's luxurious foundation. Menswear makes a powerful return, strengthening the collection's androgynous spirit.
The collection's muses are as diverse and iconic as London itself: Quentin Crisp, Brigitte Bardot, Gertrude Stein, Cecil Beaton, Jerry Hall, Prince, Cary Grant, Rihanna—and of course, the inimitable Vivienne Westwood. These figures, embodying individuality and rebellion, inspire a collection that champions self-expression and celebrates the power of embracing one's unique style.
